''truth can be undermined by the language used''
it can
''do you want your posts to be effective''
if you mean what is normally meant ---- that my message is heard and understood and considered -
no, - it's irrelevant
for years, I've seen communication that was repeated over and over and over in proper language, showing respect to listeners -
the dumb half - just never got it or get it - so, there had to be a better way -
politics is a contest of ideas ---------- and if good argument in proper language just doesn't cut through the mixture - then, something else is required
so, what else was there? ------------ well, instead of trying to enhance one's message - there was the option of drawing out the other side in full colour ---------- and hence showing what they 'really think'
and that is the objective ------------ prosecutors use the same kind of principle, albeit they have to use proper language - but, they stretch that as far as the judge will allow
you see the horrors on here - out they come, using their language when inflamed - we have types on here who use language like boong and poofter and worse --------- and I for one, can see them in their little chairs in front of their little computers -------- guard dropped by anger, red faces and let it fly on the keyboard
the more we see these people, the more we know we have to change and the more work we have to do.
They've always been around, but, they are hushed mostly - until someone prods them enough and gives them the space to air - fly the colours.
Is it effective? - well, they let fly at me pretty openly and what they really really really hate is when you throw their own arguments from a week back or a month back or so - throw their own words back at them, chuck in a wackadoodledoo or a peanut - and boom - the gate opens and the dog is off the chain.
Now, it's not just on these boards either ------ forums are harvested by political parties - and populist parties harvest the hate and what these people like and would agree with and vote for -
and, they make policy on it often ----------- it's then, that hopefully one can mow it down.
The Liberal Party of Australia is down to 2 capital city seats in the whole country - now that's got multiple reasons why --------- but, one reason is that people see them, they see what they are and what they are not
if you can't see them - then, you know not what they are like
on HC, facebook and twitter - we get a clear view.
I guess, you do it your way and try to convince them, that is fine by me. I think they can't be convinced - but, they can be shown up
and pretty easily too. Then, when they are represented in the joust - we knock them off their horses.
